Roots ConnectED Inc

Roots ConnectED is the only training for educators that teaches the practical skills of community building and critical thinking needed for creating intentionally integrated and inclusive school communities. It is for anyone who seeks ways to build community and connection across lines of differences in an era of racial and economic divisiveness.

We are a national professional development organization committed to supporting school communities through Coaching, Institutes, and Workshops.

A Roots ConnectED community is grounded in anti-bias education. Our approach is centered in notions of identity and inclusion, and uses community building, critical literacy, Universal Design for Learning, representation, and social action to create growth and change in a school community as evidenced by a shift in culture and attitudes and deepened work through curriculum, instruction and professional development.

Roots ConnectED gives educators the tools to encourage deep connection among children not despite of their differences, but through honoring them. We know this work is hard and on-going and we value the process. We also believe that, to do this work well, we must approach it with love, patience, and a commitment to ongoing work.
